Where the Silk Road meets the space age.
Baku makes a striking first impression: a UNESCO-listed medieval core wrapped in flame-shaped towers, boulevards built on oil-boom confidence, and the Caspian glittering beyond. It is one of the shortest genuine city breaks from the UAE — around three hours — with visa-on-arrival ease for most residents.
The surprises start outside town: bubbling mud volcanoes, 10,000-year-old rock art at Gobustan, hillsides that literally burn, and mountain resorts at Gabala where the air turns alpine. Add a night in Sheki’s caravanserai and the Silk Road stops being a metaphor.
